BTS Military Service and Related Questions

Hi! I am a baby army, and I have lots of questions about BTS that my friend suggested I should look into. Here are some of my questions:

Did Jin leave the group?Does any BTS member have any allergy?Who is the elder one between JHope and RM?

1. Did Jin leave the group?

No, Jin did not leave the group. In South Korea, it is mandatory for men between the ages of 18 and 28 to serve in the military. BTS is preparing for mandatory military service, which will be a significant time for each member. It is important to note that the duration of military service can vary based on the branch of service:

Navy service is 18 monthsMarines serve for 19 monthsAir Force training is 21 months

It is a personal choice for each member, as some members might opt for voluntary service. BTS has promised their fans that they will reunite as a group in 2025, but the exact timeline for each member's enlistment is still undetermined. J-Hope recently applied to have his extension dissolved, meaning he might start his service earlier. Regardless of the timeline, BTS members will reunite as a group in about two years.

2. Does any BTS member have any allergy?

BTS members have occasionally mentioned allergies, but the details are not always clear. Here is what is publicly known:

Jin has a known garlic and potato allergy.RM has frequently stated that he doesn't like seafood but has not confirmed any allergy to it. The rumor that RM has an allergy to seafood remains unconfirmed.Jimin is known to be allergic to cats.Taehyung has a skin condition, not really an allergy, where exposure to high temperatures can cause a rash.

Each member has their unique health considerations, and it's important to stick to official statements as these can change over time.

3. Who is the elder one between JHope and RM?

Korea has recently abolished the concept of "Korean age," where children born in the same year would be considered the same age. However, in this case, J-Hope (born in February) is actually slightly older than RM (born in September) by about 7 months. This means RM is the oldest in the hyung line and the hyung line's maknae (youngest member), with the line order being:

RMJ-HopeSugaJin

While this is the current situation, keep in mind that these terms can be confusing or misunderstood by fans who are not familiar with Korean pop culture.

Other than these points, the fans eagerly await the reunion of BTS. Their dedication and support for the group's journey is unwavering, and the official timeline for their return is anticipated with great excitement.
